State Medicaid director Brett Davis says he expects more than a thousand people to attend the meetings to get more information and learn how they can participate in signing people up for health insurance under the new marketplaces, or exchanges, created under the Affordable Care Act. The law, sometimes called "Obamacare," was President Barack Obama's signature law passed by the then Democratic-controlled Congress in 2010.

Applicants can be taken for the insurance exchanges starting in October. They go live in January.

Davis says the goal is to have a strategic plan for moving forward put together by Sept. 16.
